Photoshop CS5 consumes a lot of RAM

Hi,


While using Adobe Photoshop CS5, I am suffering of RAM loss, it consumes around 2.5 GB of my RAM, while Adobe Illustrator CS5 consumes around 500 MB of RAM.

Is this normal or I have to do something to minimize memory usage with Photoshop?

MacBook Pro, Other OS, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3

By default, Photoshop uses 70% of available RAM. The more RAM available to Photoshop, the faster Photoshop can process image information.


You can adjust here:

Choose Photoshop > Preferences > Performance...adjust in 5% increments...restart Photoshop after each change.


You really should Max out your computer, if you want the best performance, before messing with Photoshop.
